RSS FeedHigh Tea With Gatsby: Big Read Marathon
Chapters Literary Bookstore is partnering with THE BIG READ DC and hosting a marathon reading of The Great Gatsby at Teaism (400 8th St, NW) every day at 4:30 pm followed by a discussion of the just read chapter. According to their website, Chapters, formerly at 445 11th St, NW, is “in storage” and looking for a new location but they seem to be alive and well as an organization. A chapter a day keeps your vocab in play!!!
